Rucking
· v1.1
About
A training app for ruck running — running with a weighted pack. Before you start, set your pack weight in kilograms, then record the session as a running activity in Garmin Connect.
The app is designed especially for military-style training and simulations (milsim), field exercises, and tactical conditioning. You can include the total weight of your gear — such as a vest, weapon, helmet, and other equipment — to better reflect real operational load.
What you see during training:
- elapsed time
- distance
- pace (min/km)
- heart rate
- calories — calculated with pack weight factored in
How it works:
Calorie burn is estimated using a MET-based formula that accounts for both body weight and total carried load, providing a more accurate result than Garmin's standard running calorie counter.
The activity is saved as a run. Pack weight is stored in the FIT file and visible when reviewing the activity.
Controls:
UP / DOWN — adjust pack weight
START — start / pause
BACK during a workout — confirmation screen (resume or end & save)
